    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, before you give a directive, I want to bring two things to your attention. First, if a person of the Deputy Speaker is sitting where you are sitting, that direction has come from your office. When your Deputy Speaker issued an order against the CS Hon. Amina Mohammed, she disobeyed. I would hate to think that she did so because it was issued by your Deputy. Secondly, when the CS sends someone to appear before the Committee, that CS then writes a letter seeking an adjournment from you. That is wrong. When a matter is delegated to the Committee, it should go to there. What is even worse is when the CS then writes to you directly that they will come on a particular day - in this case, on 11th November 2021 - she then refuses to attend. What are we supposed to do when a CS defies the order of a Deputy speaker which is the order of a Speaker? The CS said that she would come on 11th November 2021 and then she refused to come. That order issued by the Deputy Speaker was violated. We should either increase the fines or we do something that is extremely drastic. We are beginning to look like we are a talk show. All we do is talk, talk, talk and do nothing. What is worse is the violation of an order from your Chair. If an order from your Chair can be violated, imagine what happens when a chairperson of a Committee issues a directive. The CS would just say “I spoke to your Speaker, I will not come”. It is a serious dereliction and violation of the Constitution. Bure kabisa!"
